Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘[t]he doctrine of res judicata states that a cause of action once finally determined, without appeal, between the parties, on the merits, by a competent tribunal, cannot afterwards be litigated by new proceedings either before the same or any other tribunal.’ Texas Water Rights Commission v. Crow Iron Works, 582 S.W.2d 768 , 771 (Tex.1979). ‘The doctrine of collateral estoppel differs in that it precludes relitigation of only those issues actually and finally decided in a prior action.’ Hanrick v. Gurley, 93 Tex. 458 , 56 S.W. 330 (Tex.1900).”
